The '''Trade Ship''' is a naval trading unit built at the [[Fishing Docks]]. It earns gold by sailing between its home dock and an '''ally's''' Fishing Docks, like a [[Trade Cart]] on water, for smaller amounts. It cannot attack.

== Trading ==
* The ship's home is the dock that built it. Order it onto an ally's built Fishing Docks to start a route; the gold is paid on each return home.
* '''Allies only:''' a route to your own dock is refused. A route between docks that are not connected by water is refused when ordered.
* '''Gold per round trip''' = 0.15 x (distance between the two docks in metres, minus 60), rounded, between 0 and 45. Docks 60 m apart or closer pay nothing; the 45 cap is reached at 360 m.
* Any move order you give the ship ends its route.
* A cargo pile shows on deck while it is on a trade route.

== Combat ==
The Trade Ship has no attack (Attack 0, Range 0). It cannot fight; it relies on other units for protection.

It has 180 hit points and 2 armour. Every hit it takes is reduced by its armour, to a minimum of 1 damage per hit (see [[Damage types]]).

== Training ==
* '''Trained at:''' [[Fishing Docks]].
* '''Cost:''' 50 gold, 100 wood. The cost is paid when the unit is queued. Cancelling a queued or in-progress unit refunds the full cost.
* '''Train time:''' 35 seconds. Training-speed bonuses from the owner's [[Callings|Calling]] and [[Disciplines]] shorten it; no unit trains in under 0.5 seconds.
* '''Population:''' 1. Training is refused when living units plus everything already queued in all of the player's buildings, plus this unit, would pass the population cap.
* A building holds at most 5 units in its training queue.

== Notes ==
* Ships move only on water, and training is refused when the dock has no navigable water within reach.
